The world has allowed Israel to break international law at will

Since a ceasefire was announced between Israel and Palestine at the beginning of the year, there has been little reprieve for the people of Gaza. If anything, over the past month or so, tensions have escalated as Israel continues to attack the people of Palestine, including medical personnel and journalists. This is not only a violation of the ceasefire agreement but also a clear defiance of international law regarding the rules that govern conflict.

The Geneva Conventions are clear that certain groups of people, including medical staff and journalists, should not be targeted during wars. But Israel continues to attack both these groups, with reports indicating that the number of journalists killed in this war supersedes those from the First and Second World Wars as well as the Vietnam War combined.
